Hearing Zhang Dabiao's words, Wang Chengzhu despised him in his heart.

If I hadn't waited for you, do you think your camp would still have had meat to eat?

Wang Chengzhu saw through it without saying anything, and asked instead: "Captain Zhang, do you know that there are a large number of Japanese main forces rushing towards this direction in Luliang, Jiaxian, Fangshan and other places?"

Hearing this, Zhang Dabiao was immediately shocked and said: "In this case, we should step up our time to attack and eliminate the Japs on Lijiapo before the Japs reinforcements arrive!"

Wang Chengzhu: "Captain Zhang, your layout is still a bit small."

Zhang Dabiao was stunned: "Zhuzhu, what do you mean by this?"

Wang Chengzhu sneered and said: "Don't these Japs on Lijiapo want to stand still and wait for reinforcements? Then let's simply use our tactics to build a encirclement point for the Japs to call for reinforcements."

Zhang Dabiao: "With just the strength of our new regiment, isn't it too risky?"

Wang Chengzhu: "The risk is a bit risky, but once it succeeds, the results will be immeasurable. Doesn't Battalion Commander Zhang want to do something big?"

Zhang Dabiao fell into deep thought, and Wang Chengzhu was like a spirited young man coaxing the little girl into the hospital, and then said: "What if there is an independent group?"

Zhang Dabiao was shocked again: "What? The independent group is coming too?"

Wang Chengzhu: "The independent group is already on its way. If nothing else happens, it will be here in another hour at most."

Zhang Dabiao: "If we add the independent regiment, we can increase our chances of winning a lot. But Zhuzhu, have you ever thought about it? Your battle plan is completely a tightrope walk on a cliff. A little carelessness may lead to the conflict between our new regiment and the new regiment."

The Independent Regiment fell into the abyss together."

"For example, if we cannot eliminate the Japs on Lijiapo before the Japs reinforcements break through the blocking line, what should we do by then?"

Wang Chengzhu said confidently: "There is no such possibility."

With that said, Wang Chengzhu pointed in the direction of the artillery position, and then said: "Commander Wang, you should have seen the artillery firepower of my independent battalion, how long do you think the Japanese on Lijiapo can hold out under the saturation bombing of my independent battalion?"

?”

Zhang Dabiao naturally saw the artillery position of the Independent Battalion, and was shocked by the number of artillery of the Independent Battalion. There were five Type 92 infantry cannons, in addition to Type 97 light mortars, and 60mm

caliber mortars and more than 10 artillery pieces. This is said to be an artillery company, but in fact it almost catches up with the firepower of an artillery battalion.

Zhang Dabiao said: "Although the terrain of Lijiapo is quite dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, there are no trees or rocks on the mountain, so the Japanese can only dig trenches as bunkers.

If we have strong enough artillery firepower, it will not be difficult to eliminate the Japanese on the mountain."

"Just, Zhuzi, does your independent battalion have so many artillery shells?"

Wang Chengzhu: "I didn't carry too many artillery shells, but it was enough to fight this battle."

After a pause, Wang Chengzhu asked again: "Captain Zhang, in fact, our independent battalion could have ended the battle in just one hour and wiped out all the Japanese on the mountain, but I did not do so.

Do you know why?"

"Are you deliberately using these Japs as bait to attract Japs from other places to come for reinforcements?" Wang Chengzhu said it so clearly, how could Zhang Dabiao not know.

Wang Chengzhu: "Yes! The equipment of our Eighth Route Army is too poor, especially the lack of heavy firepower weapons. It is too difficult to attack large Japanese strongholds and eliminate the main force of the Japanese."

But if you attract them out of their shells and set up an ambush halfway, things will be much easier to handle, and this is also the only chance to eliminate the main force of the Japanese."

Zhang Dabiao frowned and thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since Battalion Commander Wang is confident that you can deal with the Japanese on Lijiapo within an hour, then that's what you'll do.

By then, even if we can't stop the Japanese reinforcements, we can still do it if it takes an hour or two."

…

On Lijiapo.

While Yamazaki Jihei urged his Japanese soldiers to seize the time to dig trenches and build fortifications, he was also always paying attention to the movements of the Eighth Route Army under the mountain.

Of course, after seeing a battalion of troops arriving at the foot of the mountain, a fanatical expression suddenly bloomed on their faces.

However, Jiro Kobayashi next to him was not so calm. He said with some worry: "Captain, reinforcements from the Eighth Route Army have arrived. Moreover, in addition to this Eighth Route Army, there are several Eighth Route Army units that are also on the way. This

But what should we do?"

Yamazaki Jihei said nonchalantly: "Kobayashi-kun, have you noticed that after the Eighth Route Army arrived at Yamashita, they did not rush to attack, but rested on the spot.

What does this mean? This shows that the Chinese Eighth Route Army is not sure of destroying our 5th Brigade, and it also shows that they really do not have many artillery shells in their hands.

In addition, they have not launched an attack for a long time, giving us a lot of time to build fortifications. In this way, we will definitely be able to hold on until the regiment commander and brigade commander arrive. By then, it will be the end of these China-Tuba Road!

"

After a pause, Yamazaki Jihei mocked again: "What a bunch of stupid Tubal Route Army. If I were them, I would definitely launch an attack decisively when our 5th Battalion has not yet established a stable foothold and has not built defensive fortifications. In that case

, and maybe it’s possible to defeat us.”

"But now, China Tubal Road has missed its only opportunity, and their defeat is doomed!"

"The captain is wise, the imperial army will win!"

Hearing what Yamazaki Jihei said, Hikawa Okasaka on the side immediately flattered him loudly, and felt a lot more at ease.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

…

At the bottom of the mountain, half an hour later.

The Second Battalion, Third Battalion of the New Regiment, and the Independent Regiment arrived at Lijiapo one after another.

After listening to Wang Chengzhu's story, Ding Wei, Shen Quan, Wang Huaibao and others realized that this was an excellent opportunity to make a fortune, and they all agreed to Wang Chengzhu's battle plan.

Only Kong Jie, deputy commander of the Independent Regiment, expressed a different opinion: "Brother Zhuzi, this battle plan is indeed perfect. If it goes smoothly, it will indeed greatly enhance the strength of our Eighth Route Army and also greatly weaken the Japanese power in northwestern Shanxi.

.

But should we ask the brigade commander for instructions? If the superiors accuse us of taking action without asking for instructions, things will be difficult to handle."

Wang Chengzhu said: "Deputy Commander Kong's words are wrong. Our new regiment is developing in a decentralized manner. All actions do not require asking for instructions. They are approved by the boss, so we can make the decision on our own."

Kong Jie frowned and said, "But that's your new group, not our independent group."

Wang Chengzhu: "The so-called generals are away and military orders are not respected. If we face any emergency and need to report it and get approval before making a decision, I'm afraid the day lily will be cold.

It's like, the Japanese have attacked the headquarters of your independent regiment, do you still need to ask the brigade commander for instructions and then fight back after receiving the brigade commander's instructions?"
